It’s a busy time this festive season, so to make it easier, and more flavoursome, Bacchus Head Chef Massimo Speroni has announced lunch will be served on both Thursday and Fridays through until December 21!

The Bacchus Festive Season Lunch has two menu options – a lighter two-course experience for $59 per person, or a three-course dining option including exclusive Bacchus Christmas Petit Fours for $79 per person. It has been designed to fit either a working-style lunch, or a celebratory festive lunch.  The menu features dishes from the new a la carte menu recently released by Chef Speroni, including the bucket-list RISOTTO which stars 18-month San Daniele Prosciutto with rocket and basil pesto, complete with Vialone Nano rice from the northern Provincia di Verona in Italy.  The full menu includes:
